New Realms of Crawling Chaos Review

It has fallen out of public view in the past several months, which is only natural given the sheer amount of good stuff that's been coming out of various OSR publishers (professional and amateur), but I've seen signs that people are beginning to give Dan Proctor's excellent Lovecraftian supplement for Labyrinth Lord another look-see. People still seem to enjoy my paltry contributions to the book as well.

I'm currently running Stonehell, and I anticipate it going on for a long time yet (the players have only just poked their noses into level 2), but I'm also building a sandboxy hexcrawl which is sort of Deadwood meets Beowulf meets Tsathoggua. RoCC has been a major inspiration, and I'll probably pop the Fane of St Toad in there too. "Curtisian" D&D is where I'm at, it seems.

Who's to Blame

Despite having never been a professional adventurer, Michael Curtis has nonetheless deciphered cryptic writings, handled ancient maps and texts, ridden both a camel and an elephant, fallen off a mountain, participated in a mystical rite, and discovered the resting places of lost treasures.
